CHAPTER 14

“We plan to release ‘Brothers’ as the first single,” Mary announced to the group as they gathered around the conference table at Black Cat the next morning. “It’s strong enough to generate buzz for the album, which given Marcus and Avery’s current pace, should be done soon.”

Marcus smiled over at Avery. She just shook her head, a little intimidated by this formal promotional meeting.

“We also plan to amp up the national media interest in the band.” Marcus shifted uneasily as Mary turned to focus on him. “You’re not going to be happy about this, but I’ve scheduled an interview with Carter Besille this afternoon.”

“Not interested,” Marcus said flatly.

“Listen, Marcus.” Mary held up her hand. “He’s in town to interview some actors and approached us about talking with you. You know the public has been anxious to hear from you since you were discharged. This is your chance to reconnect with your fans, and Besille’s show is a great platform to do that. It’s exposure on a national level. It will focus attention right where we want it, on the band, and we will be poised and ready to capitalize on it.”

Marcus rubbed his sweaty palms on his legs and a muscle in his jaw began to spasm from his clenched teeth. He knew he needed to do it. But Besille was a disingenuous self-serving weasel. Marcus had little use for people like him, and he was sure Besille knew it. There was always unspoken animosity between them on the rare occasion when they were forced to interact. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, “I don’t trust him. He always has some angle.”

“They all do, Marcus,” Beth interjected. “We’ll send Stephen with you. How about if I limit him to just a couple of questions? I’ll even tell them you’ll only answer questions pertaining to the band or rehab, ok?”

“Alright,” he agreed reluctantly. He really hated this part of the business. It was always a fine line between maintaining his integrity and being viable financially.

“We are all set to go, PR wise, then,” Beth said, looking over her calendar. “We have the song up and available for download already. We hope to film the video this week and release it on the band’s website, YouTube, and iTunes as soon as it’s edited. Oh, and our name is on the short list of bands being considered to close the Grammy nomination show.”

The band murmured approvingly.

“Ok, now one last thing about the video…” Mary quieted the guys down with just a look. “Beth and I were thinking of filming at the Palladium. Our plan is to keep it simple. You guys are awesome live performers and we’d also like to introduce the fans to Avery.” Mary looked around the table. “Does that work for everyone?”

“Sure,” JR said.

“Sure, why not?” Dwight agreed.

Marcus glanced at Avery, who he noticed had been silent throughout the whole meeting. “What do you think, Ace?”

“I don’t know. I’m good with whatever everyone else decides,” she said with a shrug.
